Posts from BLITZ TOURNAMENT

1. Download save.

2. The downloaded Save must be placed on your computer in the GAMES folder of the installed Heroes 3.

3. Load it and start playing at any time convenient for you, while remembering to make intermediate saves.

4. After reaching the final action (after which victory occurs), save again.

5. A full description of the tournament map is encouraged (optional). If provided, a contest for the best description will be held; 10 of them (the very best) will take their place of honor in the "Hall of Fame" section!

6. Send this save to the specified address (in the rules of this tournament).

7. Wait for the results.

Before you is a map where completing it will again require knowledge of most tricks and techniques related to logistics. However, in addition to this, battles with neutral troops guarding key objects on the map play a significant role in the task.

You need to obtain the Necklace of Divine Enlightenment in the shortest time possible. As always, the second criterion for evaluating the quality of the walkthrough will be the amount of gold in your kingdom's treasury. Well, and the pinnacle of skill for this map would be having Armageddon's Blade in your hero's hand!

Good luck!

The condition for successfully completing the third stage of the blitz tournament will be the need to gather as large an army of Skeleton Warriors as possible under the command of the starting hero (Galthran). You will need to conduct a series of battles, using all known features of how the Cloak of the Undead King and other necromancy boosters work.

Only three game days are allocated for the entire task. Your final save must be made at the end of the third day (113). Only the number of upgraded skeletons with Galthran will be counted. No other units count toward the score.

Notes:

1. This map contains the Angel Wings artifact. It is forbidden to use it to move around quest guards of the task. To visit an object that is closed by a guard – you must remove the guard and only then visit the object itself (specifically, this refers to the Fort on the Hill). It is also forbidden to visit castles without first removing the guard (neutral units guarding the entrance to side castles and Pandora's Box near the lower castle must be removed before visiting the castles).

2. It is mandatory to make saves before every battle – to avoid questions from the leader in case of disputed moments.

3. To avoid excessive waste of your time, I would recommend familiarizing yourself with two information sections presented in the guide "Physics of the Heroes World":

2.13.1. Neutrals. Order of attack on the adventure map
2.15 How necromancy works: Cloak of the Undead King in action

This information will be of considerable value for successful completion of the task.

4. At the start, your hero will have the opportunity to take Pandora's Box with Azure Dragons. This is done specifically to simplify the map reconnaissance procedure and path calculation by which you plan to lead your hero. But in the final save, this Pandora must remain untouched.

5. And as usual, having Armageddon's Blade in your hero's hand will be a recognition of your high level of skill :)

Good luck!

To summarize the prohibitions regarding the use of angel wings:

1. You cannot "fly over" the passage guard closing the fort on the hill.
2. You cannot capture Rave Raven castle by "flying over" the Pandora's box that closes it.
3. You cannot "fly over" the passage guard 27-13 (requires mage ring) without completing the required quest.

The list of prohibitions is now exhaustive. I hope there will be no misunderstandings that secretly grow into a discussion of the tournament map.

The map proposed for the fourth stage of the Blitz tournament combines logistics elements familiar from previous games, as well as the art of hiring the right hero at the right time. Nevertheless, to successfully solve this quest, it will be necessary to apply not entirely standard schemes. This, however, does not mean that prohibited game techniques can be used.

The condition is as always – capture the artifact (in this case – the Statue of the Legion), spending the least amount of time on it. The secondary criterion – the sum of gold remaining in your kingdom's treasury. Well, and as always, Armageddon's Blade in the hands of any of your heroes will be a pass into the ranks of the elite of the heroic brotherhood! :)

Notes:

1. Only 18 heroes are involved in the game. Who exactly – can be seen in the editor. This is done to simplify hiring the right hero without the help of an excavator, however, I fully admit that this may turn out to be an additional problem in the end… :)

2. Everything is decided within the framework of standard rules – therefore, I ask everyone once again to pay attention to them to avoid misunderstandings when summarizing the results.

3. For those who love to complete a map on the first try, I advise studying it carefully first. There are no useless objects on the map – all of them can be useful in one way or another. Whether to use them or not, and exactly how :) – is up to you. However, without applying tactical tricks and ingenuity, this task cannot be solved. Think, and think again… And you will eventually be rewarded!

Good luck!

The final map of the Blitz tournament is focused on the ability to conduct a battle against superior enemy forces while losing a minimum number of your own units. On the map, there are five heroes, five mini-quests, and five battles that must be conducted as efficiently as possible in order to achieve success.

The map limit is one day. In order for the final save to be counted, you must obtain the Necklace of Divine Grace. The winner will be determined by the total amount of gold in the Kingdom's treasury. Where to get it, let everyone decide for themselves. :) And, as always – Armageddon's Blade will go to whoever can complete the most difficult tasks provided by the map conditions.

Good luck!

I can take on the role of the lead.
Consequently, final saves can be sent to my email as well.

Therefore, with your permission, I will start this topic with a small task on knowledge of logistics.

question: how many stages are planned?

Even though the hero editor isn't working for me.

And the tournament can be held indefinitely... Like a cup - stage after stage as new tasks appear and are agreed upon with the host. Maintain a general results table (we'll decide how to take them into account later, it's not a problem), and summarize the results at the end of the season.

That's my opinion.
What do you think?

What exactly is the problem with it?

Should the final save be made before capturing the last mine or before the end of the turn (the latter is preferable)?

The problem is this: the program should buy a hero in the tavern. If an undesirable hero follows, it loads the save and repeats the process. Is that right? But mine stubbornly ends the turn. It simply presses the "end turn" button and that's it.

I don't understand the point of using some kind of programs; it's a bit unfair and uninteresting! I will play without them!!!

I have the same problem... maybe we are doing something wrong???

The problem is this: the program should buy a hero in the tavern. If the next hero is not the one it needs, it loads the save and repeats the process. Is that right? But mine stubbornly ends the turn. It just presses the "end turn" button and that's it.
